Web Application Security Consortium Establishes Official Charter and Delivers Web Security Threat Classification
Group Promotes Industry Standard Terminology of Web Security Threats
Web Application Security Consortium (WASC), a group dedicated to developing and promoting "security standards of best practice" for the World Wide Web, announced the completion of the WASC official Charter and Web Security Threat Classification.
The Web Security Threat Classification is a cooperative effort to clarify and organize the threats to the security of a Web site. The members of the WASC created this project to develop and promote industry standard terminology for describing these issues. With the creation of the Web Security Threat Classification, application developers, security professionals, software vendors and compliance auditors have the ability to access a consistent language for Web security related issues.
Our first release of the Threat Classification document is available for download here:

Jeremiah Grossman WASC Spokesman
